about

A brutally honest song about alcoholism and the effect is has on our mental health. Probably the most vulnerable I've ever been within my writing but it's my first single in nearly two years and life's too short to pretend we're okay when we're not.

Buy this track for just £2 so I can afford to buy a bus ticket to uni and study how to write more depressing songs!

lyrics

Why can’t I escape your vicious hold?
Like a fist around my wrist pull me to one side and
Tell me everything’s gonna be alright
I trust you dear, you’re around when no one’s here
You’re my best friend just like an older sister
Who hears me loud when no one else will listen

You fight it, can’t fight it, it’s in front of your face
And then you bite it, quite like it, don’t know why you were so afraid
Ignite it, invite it, until it burns your face
Then you’ll regret it, don’t sweat it, it’s done and you’re still in one (piece)
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no peace

All he wants is to be nice to me
But that’s not the way if falls when you’re a liar who led me to believe that I started the fire
I’m still breathing but I’m barely alive
Muffled by the fuss and a million questions that I can’t answer, never learn my lesson

You fight it, can’t fight it, it’s in front of your face
And then you bite it, quite like it, don’t know why you were so afraid
Ignite it, invite it, until it burns your face
Then you’ll regret it, don’t sweat it, it’s done and you’re still in one (piece)
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no peace

(Bridge)

Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no peace
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no
Peace of mind, the boy can’t get no peace
